I, too, am having trouble with a special size document created in Publisher
2003 not printing correctly when it is opened with Publisher 2007.
I read the solution suggested at
http://www.microsoft.com/communitie...9ae-b2a8-c4476186ef6c&lang=en&cr=US&sloc=&p=1
- but it does not work for me.
(My apologies for having also written on that thread--I didn't realize until
I had already clicked "Submit" that it would probably be better to start a
new thread so I could designate it a "question.")
The solution suggested in the other thread does not work if the printer
cannot have additional paper sizes added to its list of paper sizes.
What I can do on my printer is set the dimensions of a catch-all paper size
my printer has in its list called "Custom." When I choose "Custom" as a
paper size in my printer properties, a button turns clickable where I can set
that size.
My printer's lack of ability to truly add a new paper size (but ability to
have its catch-all "Custom" paper size set to anything) was good enough in
Publisher 2003.
However, Publisher 2007 always tries to override the dimensions of "Custom."
It does understand that I chose the paper size called "Custom" while I was
changing my printer properties--that shows up in the basic "Print" dialog box.
However, if I go back to the printer properties and click on the button
where I set the dimensions of "Custom," it always says 8.5x11, rather than
whatever I had just set it to!
(I decided to go back and look at the size of "Custom" in the printer
properties after I noticed that the numbers in an area of the "Printer
Details" tab of the "Print" screen seemed to add up to 8.5x11, even though I
had JUST set the dimensions of "Custom" to be 4x7.5 in the printer
properties.)
Thank you!
Sincerely,
Katie
